Hi everyone

I am building a letting agent website, which will have properties on it. I have made the admin system page for it, no problem there. What I need some pointing in the right direction on is how I search on fields like "Number of beds" and price per month from the front end?

Are there any tutorials on this sort of thing, or would you go about it?

Thanks in advance

Not a specfic tutrial that I know of, but if you take a look at building a From with the stuff you'd like to search by, then putting that in the session and redirecting to a page that displays results. Then add pagination.

i suppose what i would really like to know if how to

- post data to something that will listen to it
- how to query the database based on the input from the form
- then display a result set

I am sure there must be some generic tutorials somewhere on getting stuff out of the DB?

does this help?
